Reis Pearson is a construction consulting professional with more than two decades of experience across residential construction, building systems evaluation, code compliance, energy efficiency, and project management in the Pacific Northwest. As the owner of Inside Out, he brings an unusually broad technical foundation to every engagement — one built not in a single role, but across a career that has taken him from the field to the boardroom and back again.
Over the course of his career, Reis has conducted thousands of residential inspections across King, Pierce, and Snohomish Counties; directed the full-cycle development of panelized housing systems at MOMO Homes, where he led a cross-functional team integrating architecture, engineering, manufacturing, and onsite execution; managed capital improvement and energy efficiency programs for affordable housing portfolios at Homestead Community Land Trust; and designed residential solar PV systems with a focus on code compliance and client advocacy. He has navigated building code requirements across multiple jurisdictions — including Washington State, the IECC, and California Fire Code — and is currently pursuing ICC B1 and B3 commercial and residential building certifications through the International Code Council.
Reis holds a Master of Science in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies from Iowa State University and a BA from Washington State University. That academic background shapes the way he works with clients — communication, clarity, and genuine knowledge transfer are as central to his consulting practice as technical rigor. Whether presenting a plan review finding to an architect, walking a contractor through a QC deficiency, or representing an owner's interests in a contractor meeting, Reis brings the same commitment to making complex information accessible and actionable.
A lifelong Pacific Northwesterner, Reis grew up in Maple Valley and has called West Seattle home since 2001. Outside of work, he is an active volunteer with ShelterBox USA — an international disaster relief organization — serving as both a Response Team Member and Ambassador, supporting emergency shelter deployments to communities affected by disasters worldwide. He is an Associate Member of the Association of Energy Engineers and a former President of the Northwest Home & Building Inspectors Association.
